Volunteers in Medicine Clinic Hilton Head Island

Volunteers in Medicine Clinic serves the medically underserved and their households, who live or work on Hilton Head and Daufuskie Islands with a household income that falls below 250% of the federal poverty level at no charge. Today, there are 22 full-time equivalent employees who operate the clinic with the help of over 650 retired and professional volunteers. As a team, the clinic staff and volunteers see over 10,000 patients with over 28,000 patient visits annually. VIM Clinic receives no government funding and 93.4% of incoming funds from our supporters go directly to patient care. Established in 1993 by Dr. Jack McConnell with the goal of healing the medically underserved population of Hilton Head Island while giving the retired community of the island a way to not only stay busy but also help with a great cause. Our volunteer-based clinic model has been replicated at nearly 100 free health clinics across the country.
